hello and welcome to our viewers joining us from the united states and all around the world. i'm laila harrak. a group of african leaders headed to russia to pitch a plan to end the war in ukraine. the latest on their call for peace and why they're making the trip. the special counsel prosecuting former u.s. president donald trump in miami, and trump's attorneys have agreed to rules to protect sensitive information in the case. who can see what evidence, and what they can and cannot do with it. and a pennsylvania jury finds the man who killed 11 people inside a synagogue guilty on all charges. he could face the death penalty. >> announcer: live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with laila harrak. ukraine says its forces sometimes have to fight for every meter as they make slow headway in their offensive.

while officials say ukrainian troops continued their advance around bakhmut without giving details. they say russian troops have been pushed back up to one kilometer, but the ukrainian offensive has been slowed by air strikes, artillery, and a maze of defensive fortifications. russian president vladimir putin is denying the offensive has made any progress, but as fred pleitgen finds out, ukraine's gains are small but real. >> reporter: ukraine's army continuing to take the fight to the russians on the southern front. this video shows the 128th territorial defense battalion clearing trenches after ousting vladimir putin's army, the unit says. one of the soldiers, nicknamed the octopus, telling me the fighting remains fierce. "we're currently launching an assault," he says. "our front line is moving forward. we've already advanced a lot, more than two kilometers, so now we're only moving forward."

even after returning from the front line, the troops continue to train assaulting enemy positions, so important for ukraine's ongoing major counteroffensive. the guys here say that the battles they've had with the russians have been extremely tough. they've had to fight for every yard. and yet they are confident they can make this counteroffensive a success. troops we spoke to say the biggest threat to them is russian air power. this video released by the russian defense ministry purporting to show a russian attack helicopter hitting a ukrainian armored vehicle. the 128th deputy commander acknowledged choppers, planes, and drones are making his forces' advance tougher. "they work continuously," he says, "all day long, either with helicopters or with planes. it's hard to advance like that, but we retake territory. we do not allow them to hit the columns." the unit says they've managed to capture not only territory but also hardware from the russians,

including this infantry fighting vehicle. mechanics now fixing it up to use against the russians. an angry russian president complaining about kyiv's offensive and claiming that russia is beating back ukraine's fo forces. "they've suffered large losses," vladimir putin says. "ten times more than the russian army, and that is a fact," the ukrainians acknowledge some losses but say they've taken out --" russia's president says he now has nuclear weapons on standby in belarus. that's where vladimir putin launched his invasion of ukraine more than a year ago. speaking friday, mr. putin boasted about the number of nukes russia has with some choice words for nato. >> translator: we have more of these weapons than nato

countries do. they know that, and they keep telling us to start negotiations on reductions. well, you know what? they can shove it. >> putin says there is a serious danger of nato being drawn further into the war by supplying military weaponry to ukraine, and he says more nuclear weapons will be sent to belarus throughout the summer as a warning to the west about supporting ukraine. for more, nada bashir joins us from london. a very combative sounding putin with a warning for the west. >> reporter: he was certainly combative in his tone, though he was clear in his messaging. that line we have often heard from president putin throughout his invasion of ukraine that for the kremlin, from moscow's perspective, this is about containment. this is about russian state security. as you mentioned, this is only the first batch of tactical nuclear warheads to be deployed to belarus, a key backer of

president putin throughout his invasion of ukraine. that full transfer of nuclear tactical weapons to be deployed to belarus is anticipated to be completed by the end of the summer, to be placed on standby there as the war rages on. but president putin once again reiterating that for moscow, this is about containment. this is a move that has been designed, developed to guarantee russia's state security in his words. talk a listen. >> translator: the use of nuclear weapons undoubtedly is theoretically possible for russia. for russia t is possible if there is a threat to our territorial integrity, independence, and sovereignty, to the existence of the russian state. >> reporter: now, at this stage the u.s. government says it is closely monitoring the situation when it comes to the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in belarus, but it sees no indication that the kremlin has any plans to use nuclear weapons

against ukraine. no reason for the u.s. to adjust its own nuclear posture at this stage. but of course this has raised alarm bells within ukraine and amongst its nato allies. we've heard from ukraine's own ambassador to the united kingdom warning that the west should be taking this move very, very seriously. and as you mentioned there, president putin had his own warning for the west, focusing on the nato alliance, warning they could be drawn further and deeper into this conflict through their supply of weapons to ukraine. of course noting that russia has a larger stockpile of tactical nuclear warheads. a warning perhaps as ukraine's counteroffensive against ukraine continues. a group of african leaders is expected in st. petersburg in the coming hours for a meeting with russian president vladimir putin. their goal, to pitch their peace plan for russia and ukraine a day after doing the same with

president zelenskyy in kyiv. while they were there, russia conducted what ukraine called a massive and coordinated air strike on the capital. still, the african leaders called for negotiations between moscow and kyiv. but mr. zelenskyy made it clear that's a non-starter for now. >> translator: today, as i said many times, making it very clear that to allow any negotiations with russia now, while the occupier is on our land, is to freeze the war, to freeze everything -- pain and suffering. >> joining me now is a senior policy fellow at the center for global development. he also served as liberia's minister of public works from 2014 to 2018. a very good day, sir. how is africa affected by the war in ukraine? >> it's great being with you. thanks for having me. in a lot of ways. so the continent imports about 100 million metric tons of

cereal annually. most of that is supplied by russia and ukraine. so food inflation has affected the continent significantly. the continent also imports a significant amount of fertilizer from the two countries. that's also affected agriculture and food security on the continent. so fuel inflation, food inflation has affected africa disproportionately compared to other regions. so there's been direct impact. >> how would you describe the kind of influence or leverage these countries might have when it comes to russia's war in ukraine? >> so first is that you remember the russian foreign minister made his trip around africa where he attempted to use a significant number of the countries on the continent to provide some sort of wall against western isolation. so that's one point for leverage. second, south africans are a part of this delegation, and they've gotten into trouble with their western partners on their stance on ukraine. the idea here is that because of

that, if we want good will and leverage with the russians. so the hope is that because of the position african countries have taken, about half of the countries on the continent have not supported resolutions to condemn russian action, gives them some sort of leverage with their russian counterparts. >> south africa leads this peace mission. how would you characterize its relationship to russia? what do you make of criticism leveled at it for, you know, that it's difficult to see how president ramaphosa's government is objective considering its proximity is the kremlin? >> i think the difficulty here is that the position of the anc-led government is historical. the anc has historically been independent, and easven on the african continent with conflicts cleser to home, they've maintained the same position. throughout this entire process, they've maintained they are neutral. obviously their counterparts in the united states and parts of

europe do not believe that. >> the african peace mission and the south african president will have quite strikingly a bilateral meeting with the russian leader, so alone. will he try and dissuade the russia leader from attending the bric summit because it's putting south africa is a difficult position. >> south africa has also reached out to china to see if china will host the meeting. i imagine he will probably sue for that. the russians have indicated they still want to appear in person. but i think there's a list of demands. they're calling them confidence-building measures. so one of the things they're asking for is withdrawal for russian troops, the removal of tactical nuclear weapons from belarus, but also sanctions relief for russia and a suspension of icc sanctions against putin. so i'm not sure if any of these

measures they're proposing are actually going to be successful. however, this is an indication of africans having a say in issues of global governance, especially when it comes to the war in ukraine. so i think it's good that african leaders and africa is having a voice on global issues. >> the ukrainian president has not been very receptive to those proposals. let's focus now on how this is being perceived, you know, in africa potentially. you know, this africa peace mission comes at a time when we see this two-month-long war in sudan really intensifying, displacing millions of sudanese. the situation in darfur is now even more dire than before. should the focus be of these very influential african leaders on mediating and facilitating talks between warring parties in sudan rather than going to europe? >> well, i think you can chew gum and walk, right?

i think because of the impact of the russian invasion in ukraine, they're impacting african lives, it's really different for african leaders to ignore that. initially, part of the reason african governments were ambivalent to responding to what's happening in europe is because they had crises closer to home that they felt the west was ignoring. it makes sense if the african union is going to deploy as much resources as they are on a crisis far away in ukraine, it would make sense they would begin to deploy the same at home. one assumes the african unit is going to do it. because the continent is affected both by crises at home and away, african leaders cannot ignore one in favor of the other. >> thank you so much for your insights. thank you. >> pleasure being here. well, now to a deadly attack at a secondary school in uganda. police in the east african country say rebels with ties to

isis attacked the school, killing at least 26 students and abducting 6 others before setting the school on fire. authorities believe there could be even more victims inside the burned building. we get you more on these breaking developments with our larry madowo, who is following our developments very closely. larry, what more have authorities said? >> reporter: authorities say they are in hot pursuit of these rebels from the allied democratic forces, or adf, that carried out this attack friday night in the secondary school. it happened in a border town. this particular school is just two kilometers away from the border with the democratic republic of congo. this attack happened just before midnight, and at least 26 people were killed, most of them are students according to our understanding though these numbers could increase. cnn has not independently updated our death toll.

the local media here are reporting numbers even higher than 40. we're waiting to hear more from the ugandan military and the ugandan police, who both have been giving out statements about this attack. even though the adf has carried out attacks here in uganda before, most notably in 2021 when several suicide attacks here in the capital of kampala were blamed on the adf, and the ugandan military and the democratic republic of congo military launched joint -- it's claimed some defections, some child soldiers who were rescued and getting rehabilitated. it's now a brazen attack from across the border into western uganda. a small town. it's a school they didn't expect something like this could happen. but now some really shocking videos and pictures circulating on social media. they're too graphic and cnn has decided not to show any pictures

because we would have to blur everything to bring them to you. but that shows the scale and just the gravity of this attack that happened in a secondary school in the border town between uganda and the democratic republic of congo. we're waiting to hear a statement from the president, who has previously said that the adf is nothing and that the uganda military would stamp it out like it has done with other armed groups. but the adf is one of the armed groups operating in the eastern drc that's been carrying out these attacks across the border, will you also terrorizing the eastern part of the congo. >> cnn's larry madowo, thank you so much. in the federal criminal case against donald trump, even routine court filings are taking an outsized significance. one such bit of legal business took place on friday when special counsel jack smith filed

for a protective order to prevent trump and his attorneys from sharing any evidence they receive from prosecutors during discovery. cnn's paula reid is in washington with those details. >> reporter: the special counsel's office is asking the judge overseeing the trump documents case to sign off on a set of rules for protecting sensitive information in this case. now, according to this request, both sides, both prosecutors and defense attorneys, have agreed to these rules about how to handle the sensitive evidence that will soon be shared with defense attorneys. they're not talking about classified information here. we're talking about the other sensitive information that is part of this case. now, among the rules that prosecutors are seeking here have to do with the defendants, former president trump and his aide, walt nauta. they're insisting that the two defendants not be able to view any of the evidence that is shared with attorneys without

their attorneys present. they also request that they not be given copies of it or be able to take notes and then take those notes. the notes need to be protected and kept safe by the attorneys. now, prosecutors say in this request that they worry that sharing this information with the public or others could compromise other ongoing investigations, witnesses, or other people who haven't been charged. we know the special counsel is, of course, looking at the events in and around january 6th and efforts to undermine the 2020 election. we also know that many of the witnesses in the trump documents case were also interviewed in the january 6th investigation. now, when it comes to classified information, they're not quite there yet because the trump attorneys need clearances before they can handle any of those sensitive secrets that are at the heart of this case. the former president is accused of taking over 30 documents. now, earlier this week, the judge overseeing this case, aileen cannon, she told the lawyers to begin that process to get their clearances.

she wants an update next week. now, the lawyers, todd blanche, and chris kies has said they're already in touch with the justice department to get that process started so that they can eventually be able to view classified evidence as well. paula reid, cnn, washington. an outbreak of deadly storms across the southern u.s. coming up, we'll get a look at the devastation. the extreme weather. where we can expect to see triple digit temperatures over the weekend. that's just ahead. . new science shows it gets in between teeth to destroy 5 5x more plaque above the gumline than floss. for a cleaner, healthihier mout. listerine. feelel the whoa!

ground there and has more on the devastation. >> we have major damage in town. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: terrifying video of a deadly tornado captured by storm chasers. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: as the powerful twister leveled much of the small town of perryton, texas, killing at least three, sending up to 100 people to the hospital. >> it was just barely sprinkling, and all of a sudden, the tornado formed, and it just dropped on us. it came out of nowhere. there was no sirens, no time to get to shelter. there was a time where i thought that i was going to die. >> reporter: jamie james hp home is still standing, but nearly everything around it is destroyed. the community of roughly 8,000 residents is left in shambles. and this was an immensely powerful tornado. take a look over there. that vehicle was flipped completely on its roof, slammed into the building. from the brick structures on

main street to mobile homes completely flattened. >> total devastation. >> reporter: this cell phone tower snapped in half. transmission lines have sustained damage, and many power lines are down in the town, the energy company says. >> i kind of feel like it was almost a worst-case scenario. >> reporter: the weather service gives notice as quickly as it can, but one storm chaser on the ground said this storm didn't look particularly dangerous at first. >> i never heard sirens, and the reason why is when they issued the tornado warning, the tornado was already in town doing damage, and the power had obviously been cut to the town. >> reporter: excel energy says power was shut off for safety purposes. residents begin to pick up the pieces, including at the fire station, which took a direct hit but still has trucks assisting in the cleanup efforts. >> the loss is unthinkable. i don't think you can put it really into words. >> reporter: james tells us one of the victims was a local shelter volunteer, who was always kind to her. if she survived, she would have been among the first to help.

>> she served people. friendly, hugging people, like me, who needed it so bad. so many good people in this town. >> reporter: now, this area is main street. this downtown part of perryton taking a direct hit. cleanup crews have been out here all day trying to move the debris, the overturned trees, the downed power lines. but the emotional scars will take a lot longer to heal from. lucy kafanov, cnn, perryton, texas. and the weather is throwing a one-two punch on texas and other parts of the south with blistering heat forecast well into next week. cnn meteorologist chad myers has that. >> well, we really switched now from severe weather to very hot weather. don't get me wrong, there will be some big storms around the areas here, across parts of texas, oklahoma, and even across the deep south on saturday. but it's the heat that will affect for people for sure.

temperatures are going to be well above 100. when you add in the humidity, it will be a very muggy day. heat indexes will approach 115 degrees here. that's fahrenheit, of course. but 100 degrees in san antonio. 109 in laredo. muggy air all the way even into dallas. even new orleans may feel 110 to 115. excessive heat warnings posted here across parts of texas. air conditioners will be rolling. this will be a very difficult weekend to be outside, and it doesn't end by the weekend. it doesn't end until thursday. look at your temperatures for houston, for san antonio. dallas a little bit cooler but still the muggies are up there without a doubt. then for houston itself, 103 on the thermometer with the mugginess there feeling like 110 to 115 outside. and that's in the shade. so keep that in mind. austin, you're not going to get below 104 until thursday afternoon. the heat is on. sometimes we can get thunderstorms in this kind of

heat. but we'll just have to see whether that's a cooling thunderstorm or a damaging thunderstorm as they develop saturday, sunday, and even into monday. >> our thanks to chad myers. as the search continues for victims of the migrant boat that capsized off the greek coast, an official weighs in on a disaster spawned by human traffickers. details after the break. plus, a high-stakes diplomatic trip to china. what the u.s. secretary of state is hoping to achieve and why some are skeptical he'll get results.

welcome back to our viewers in the united states and canada and all around the world. i'm laila harrak and you're watching "cnn newsroom." europe's commissioner for home affairs says the migrant boat disaster off the greek coast is the worst tragedy ever in the mediterranean sea. they said european nations must find ways to fight smugglers who are sending people to their deaths. her comments come as the search continues for the missing. 78 people are confirmed dead, but up to 750 people were on the vessel when it sank on wednesday, and hundreds are feared dead. greek authorities are denying claims that the ship capsized after the coast guard tried to tow it to shore. and as survivors grapple with the disaster, 71 of them were taken to a registration and identification facility near athens on friday. joining us now is award-winning journalist sally hayden.

she's also the author of "my fourth time we drowned: seeking refuge on the world's deadliest migration route." sally, welcome. you have spent the last five years reporting on the impact of your european union migration policy. what did your investigation reveal? >> yeah, and thank you so much for having me. yeah, this has been what i've been reporting on, and actually to be honest, i had to double check the figures again and again today just to, you know, make sure that i was appreciating the horrific scale of the deaths that are happening. more than 27,000 people have died in the mediterranean sea since 2014, and i think that the european position on this is often framed as inaction. people think it's just that they're not sending boats to rescue people, but actually there is action happening to, and that's creating a situation

where people are much more unsafe. i know that you just quoted that you are talking about the importance of fighting people smugglers. but actually we're living in a situation where a large proportion of the world's population don't have the ability to travel safely and legally. and so they must resort to using smugglers. the smuggling industry is always going to exist as long as people don't have safe and legal routes. at the moment, they can't get visas. they can't get on planes. they don't have other ways to make these journeys. >> now, this is one of the world's deadliest migration routes for all the reasons that you just outlined. and yet people remain determined to try and reach europe through these dangerous routes across the sea. why? >> because they're desperate. i mean they're fleeing wars, dictatorships, situations, you know, of extreme poverty, and i think like we talk about economic migrants, but fleeing poverty can also be, you know, the fact that you don't have access to health care, that you

can't feed your family, that there's an active risk to your life in that situation. and, yeah, i think it really shows the desperation of people that, you know, i talk to a lot of people who make these journeys, and they say they know the risks. there might be this misconception that they don't know the risks, but they do. they just have no other option. they feel like they're in a situation otherwise that they can't survive in. and, yeah, my reporting has taken me across africa and across the middle east as well. and, yeah, it's really, you know, devastating to hear the stories and to hear the lengths that people are being pushed to. >> now, there's a lot of focus right now on the greek coast guard, what they did and didn't do. what is the track record of greek authorities when it comes to handling of the crisis in the mediterranean? >> yeah, the greek coast guard is becoming quite infamous for their brutality, for using violence against people, for

even, you know, disabling engines, leaving people at sea. and so we don't know exactly what happened with this boat. i know there are conflicting reports. but one of the reports said that potentially the people on board, when they found out it was greek authorities, had said, no, they wanted to continue to italy. they had refused help. and i mean i can see why that might have happened because of the reputation of the greek authorities, that actually people would think it was more dangerous to agree to be technically helped by them. that actually the results might be more dangerous than the situation they were in even. >> sally, as the weather gets warmer, do we expect more boats to keep coming? and what ultimately determines who deserves to be in europe? >> yeah. i mean that's a big question. yeah, i think boats are going to continue to come all the time, and who deserves to be there?

a lot of the people i speak to, once they can get on european territory, they can claim a right to stay there. you know, they can claim international protection. but the problem is that they can't claim that from abroad. they have to get onto european territory. then they'll be recognized as refugees. and, yeah, i mean that's kind of maybe a broader debate. but at the moment, without those safe and legal routes, this is the only way, the only recourse that people have to do that. >> sally hayden, thank you so much. greatly appreciate you coming on. >> thank you. the u.s. secretary of state took off from washington a few hours ago to begin his long-delayed trip to china, where he will try to ease rising tensions between the two countries. antony blinken says he will hold talks on a range of issues, including the safety of three americans who washington says have been wrongfully detained in china. >> this has been an ongoing

conversation with the prc and something that, for me, is always at the top of my list. that is looking out for the security and well-being of americans around the world, including those who are being detained in one way or another, including arbitrarily. >> blinken said his visit is also meant to improve communications with beijing in order to avoid misunderstandings that can lead to conflict. in february, blinken canceled a previous trip to china after the country was accused of flying a giant spy balloon over the u.s. to collect sensitive information from military sites. a federal jury reaches a verdict for the gunman accused of killing almost a dozen people in the tree of life synagogue. a report from pittsburgh is coming up. plus, the u.s. accuses russian criminals of a sweeping cyberattack. we'll have details on the federal agencies that have been hit so far.

in pennsylvania, robert bowers has been convicted of carrying out the deadliest attack ever on jewish people in the united states. the trial now moves to the penalty phase. jurors must decide whether to sentence robert bowers to death or to life in prison without parole. cnn's danny freeman reports. >> reporter: silence in the courtroom friday morning as judge robert colville read the verdicts. 63 federal charges, guilty on all counts. 22 of those charges punishable by death. the jury agreed with federal

prosecutors that the man who killed 11 jewish worshippers and injured 6 other people in october 2018 targeted them specifically because they were jewish. >> i am feeling a sense of relief that after 4 1/2 years, the world has heard again about the horrific acts on october 27th, 2018, and the shooter is being held accountable for those awful acts. >> reporter: throughout two grueling weeks of testimony, prosecutors showed how the defendant turned a sacred house of worship into a hunting ground. sound of gunfire ] >> reporter: body camera video and 911 calls revealed chaos and terror. jurors heard 84-year-old bernice simon's 911 call as she held a prayer shawl to her husband's bullet wounds. "we're being attacked. i'm scared to death," she cried out before she was shot and killed while hiding in a pew. the defense did not dispute their client killed the 11 worshippers, but the shooter's attorneys tried to argue the

attack was motivated by immigration-related conspiracy theories, not by a hatred of jews. prosecutors called that argument absurd. >> this was an anti-semitic incident, period, end of the statement. >> reporter: community leaders in pittsburgh say friday's result was a victory, but the death penalty phase looms large. >> while we're pleased with the verdict, very pleased, we know that there is still more to come. this is only the first phase. >> it's difficult to say the emotions we feel right now. one of relief obviously that the jury returned a full verdict of guilty to all 63 counts. but there's also a degree of trepidation because this is just the first third of the trial. and in a sense, it was the least complicated part. >> reporter: as we look ahead to the death penalty phase of this trial, one of the things we'll be looking for is exactly what kind of defense will be mounted. remember, in this guilt phase,

the prosecution called 60 witnesses to the stand while the defense team called no one. but now the gunman's attorneys will be fighting to spare his life. danny freeman, cnn, pittsburgh, pennsylvania. u.s. officials have identified a second federal agency that's been hit by a sweeping cyberattack. sources tell cnn that the office of personnel management has joined the department of energy as the two impacted agencies. investigators are still trying to determine what data may have been breached, but so far, they say the hack hasn't disrupted agency services. authorities believe russian criminal hackers are behind the cyberattack, which also may have affected hundreds of organizations around the world. still to come, we'll take a look at the celebrations that will unfold in london just hours from now for king charles' first official birthday since being crowned.
